Sisyphus

[Verse 1] I wash I dry I put away I'm where I started yesterday I live I clean I cook Survive Tired to the bone while the kitchen thrives! [Chorus — soaring] I am Sisyphus again Push it up just to watch it descend Every ending is another beginning Sanity thinning while the cycle keeps spinning I reach the summit, watch it fall Was there ever any end at all? Scrub, cook, wash, scrape, rinse, repeat! Another four hours until I need to eat Again... Again! [Verse 2] Water running through my fingers Time slipping while the grease still lingers There's a million other things I'd rather do Why haven't we evolved past the need for food? A mountain of ceramic stares back through the steam I'm setting off the alarm while burning my dreams Every meal is twice the effort of what it seems I'm trapped in a culinary ponzi scheme [Chorus] I am Sisyphus again Push it up just to watch it descend Every ending is another beginning Sanity thinning while the cycle keeps spinning I reach the summit (Watch it fall) Was there ever any end at all? Scrub, cook, wash, scrape, rinse, repeat! Another four hours until I need to eat... Again...! [Bridge — Quiet, soft, building] I curse the dishes left unwashed All the hours swallowed, lost Is this all that waits for me? Clean and cook and clean and eat? [Building] [Layered harmonies] I curse the dishes left unwashed All the hours swallowed, lost Is this all that waits for me?! Clean and cook and clean and eat?! [Screamed vocals over layered harmonies] I curse the dishes left unwashed! All the hours swallowed, lost! Is this all that waits for me?! Clean and cook and clean and eat!!! [Final chorus] I am Sisyphus again At the bottom where I began I watch the stone roll down the mountain Before I even Catch. My. Breath. I swear these hands were meant for more Than wiping crumbs up off the floor But hunger doesn't give a shit [Distant reverberant vocal] So hand me back the oven mitt [Outro - soaring, layered, choir] I wash I dry I put away I'm where I started yesterday I wash I dry I put away I'm where I started yesterday...
